I’m definitely guilty of this and I find that we all do this from time to time. Some may do it more than others, but we have all doubted ourselves at one point in our lives.
Those thoughts of not being good enough.
“I can’t get this job, because I’m not good enough.”
“I can’t wear that because I’m not skinny enough.”
“No one will like me, because I’m not pretty enough.”
“I’m not good enough, I’m not good enough, I’m not good enough.”
Constantly badgering myself about not being good enough, not being skinny enough, not being pretty enough… The list goes on and on.
Since being in recovery; I can honestly say that it has gotten better, but it hasn’t disappeared.
One thing I learned is that 100% of the time, these thoughts are wrong. You’re eating disorder wants you to feel bad so that you let him take control and “better” your life; even though he is doing the exact opposite.
DO NOT GIVE IN! YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOUR EATING DISORDER!
